CONTRIBUTIONS OF GENETICALLY DEFINED INTERNEURON SUBTYPES TO CONTRAST CODING IN MOUSE PRIMARY VISUAL CORTEX
(2020-01-31)
In the past decade the mouse primary visual cortex (V1) has become a popular brain region for investigating how neural circuits process information, largely because of the genetic tools available in this animal model. One ...
Melodic Variance in Anglo-Saxon Pontificals
(2020-04-27)
The study of music at Anglo-Saxon Canterbury has been called “the most unstudied and most important outstanding issue in the history of early musical notation in England” (Rankin and Gullick, 2009). This thesis examines ...
THE ROLE OF PERSONALITY IN DEFINING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN PERSUASIVE TECHNOLOGY AND COERCION
(2020-09-01)
Persuasive Computing is a sub-discipline of Human Computer Interaction and Com- puter Science. It is focused on motivating users to improve their lives through tech- nological intervention. Examples include fitness ...
Cross-Study Analyses of Microbial Abundance Using Generalized Common Factor Methods
(2020-05-15)
Micro-organisms seem to flagellate about wherever they please, in our bodies and in the natural and built environments, but they are more cunning than their meandering behavior would suggest. By creating networks of ...
Low-Power Staircase Encoder Implementation for High-Throughput Fiber-Optical Communications
(2020-09-11)
This thesis presents a very large scale integration (VLSI) architecture of a high-throughput, low latency and power staircase forward error correction (FEC) encoder. The designed encoder achieves low latency and memory ...
Strategies for Neuroprotection and Intraocular Pressure Modulation in Experimental Models of Glaucoma
(2020-01-21)
Glaucoma is a blinding eye disease caused by death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor, and is the target of all current glaucoma therapeutics. However, IOP ...
DRINKING BEHAVIOUR AND DRINKING MOTIVATIONS IN EMERGING ADULTHOOD: HOW DO OUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDSHIPS AFFECT OUR ALCOHOL USE?
(2020-08-11)
In my dissertation, I sought to better understand how social influence and drinking motivations impact drinking behaviour within close interpersonal relationships. I focused on the developmental period of emerging adulthood ...
Carryover Effects of Winter and Pre-breeding Conditions on Reproduction in Northern Common Eiders Somateria mollissima borealis Nesting in Arctic Canada
(2020-11-24)
Life-history stages are conceptually and temporally separated, yet interactions between these stages still occur. The overwintering phase of the annual cycle has become increasingly recognized for its selective pressures ...
CONCURRENT REMOVAL OF ORGANIC AND HEAVY METAL CONTAMINANTS IN WASTEWATER: A CASE STUDY ON A PULP MILL EFFLUENT AND LEACHATE
(2020-08-27)
A continuous flow reactor (CFR) was designed, and its application was tested for para-nitroaniline (PNA) degradation and real environmental wastewater (i.e., Boat Harbour (BH) and leachate samples) treatment. Total organic ...
An Investigation of the Anti-Cancer Effects of Apple Flavonoids Fraction 4 on Breast Cancer Cells
(2020-09-11)
Cancer remains to be the one of the leading causes of death in Canada and the United States. In Canadian and American women, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths behind lung cancer, despite ...
